After buying things, at my insistent request, we still took a taxi back, although the fare was a little higher, but after all, I was still very happy to save my life.

Ten minutes later, we returned to the dormitory building, I thought about sending her, and walked with her, along the way there were talking and laughing, and even a trace of sweetness, I sent her to the door of the women's dormitory, and she left each other's house numbers and then walked to my dormitory, just entered the door, I saw Chen Honghai who came out, he saw me, and hurriedly asked:

"Why did you go, I'm still thinking about going shopping with you. ”

I raised the thing in my hand and said:

"I've bought it all, I got up at five o'clock in the morning, and seeing that you haven't woken up yet, I'll go by myself. ”

Chen Honghai looked a little annoyed and said:

"Hey, call me when you wake up, you also know that I usually sleep to death, you just shake me awake, by the way, what did you buy?"

I smirked:

"Gibran's anthology, Xiaoxu must like it very much. ”

Chen Honghai still looked a little puzzled, and muttered:

"Did you buy a book?... Well... Xiaoxu may indeed like it, you are quite smart. ”

"Then let's go find her now?"

"Don't worry, it's only ten o'clock now, they haven't finished rehearsing yet, let's wait for her to finish lunch and go to her when she rests in the dormitory, rehearsals start at half past two in the afternoon, let's go at one o'clock, what do you think?"

"Okay, then do it. ”

"Then you go back and think about it for a while, I'll go out to do something, and we can have dinner together later." ”

I nodded, and after breaking up with Hong Haige, I returned to the dormitory, the room was empty, only the guitar was safely placed on the bed to accompany me, I found a place to sit down, and put the beautifully bound Gibran anthology into a cloth bag, the book itself comes with a set of gift boxes, and the packaging is also cumbersome, not to mention that I want Xiaoxu to see the true face of the book at a glance, so that she can understand my mind at once, that is the best.

After packing up the book, how to explain it has become a new problem for me, I put my hands on my cheeks, I don't know what to do in a daze, I want to find an excuse, but my brain is blank, my body seems to be not listening, my hands seem to be guided, I grabbed the guitar without any warning, and pointed out a string of notes, it is Zhao Lei's "Southern Girl", accompanied by the melody, I also sang unconsciously:

The village in the north lives one

Girls from the South

She often wears a dress with flowers

Stand on the side of the road

She doesn't say much, but she laughs like that

Calm and melodious

What was in her weak eyes

It is the sorrow of longing

…

After singing a song, I felt inexplicably good, and I thought to myself, isn't it a miracle trick given to me by God? Let me sing this song to her? But the lyrics feel a little mismatched, Xiaoxu is not a southerner, and the second is not a sojourner across the north and south, I was thinking, a thought came to my heart, I tore off a piece of paper in Wu Xiaodong's notebook, touched a pen from Gao Hongliang, and created it, I thought like a spring, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and soon wrote a new set of lyrics, picked up the guitar and sang it a few times, and repaired the rhyme feet, almost to be fake, I was happy, and played and sang a few songs, while I was singing Zhang Yu's "The rain keeps falling" When Wu Xiaodong pushed the door in, he asked me:

"What's this song called? Who sang it, it's really good!"

"This song is called "The Rain Keeps Falling", and this song is... I made it myself. "I'm sorry Brother Yu again, I can't help it, I can't let my Brother Yu debut ten years early.

Wu Xiaodong's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he frowned again and said:

"Don't fool me, you kid bullied me for listening to fewer songs, and lied to me!"

"Brother Xiaodong, it's really not, how could I lie to you. ”

"You kid is not honest, you don't tell the truth, you don't say pull down, I can ask someone else, anyway, I remember the lyrics. ”

"Alas, it's really not, Brother Xiaodong..."He didn't believe it at all, and I had no choice, Wu Xiaodong walked into the house and drank a sip of water, found a place to sit down and asked me:

"Don't talk nonsense, do you want to say something to Xiaoxu?"

"Well, almost, I want to sing a song for her, and she'll understand my mind. ”

Wu Xiaodong listened, a mouthful of water almost didn't squirt out, he looked at me with a caring eye for mentally handicapped children, and it took two minutes to hold back a sentence:

"Just singing?"

I looked at him with extremely firm eyes, and said word by word:

"Yes, I'm sure she'll understand. ”

"No... No, no, no. Wu Xiaodong's head shook like a rattle, and he kept repeating this sentence in his mouth.

"Everything has to have a beginning and an end, you came here inexplicably, it's not reasonable to be reasonable, your brother Liang is so protective of you, you don't even have a reasonable reason, do you think you did the right thing?"

After listening to his words, if I think about it carefully, it is indeed the case, my thoughts are wishful thinking, and I may have cheated Brother Gao and Brother Hong Hai, and I am even sorry for Brother Xiaodong, I lowered my head and didn't speak for a long time, Wu Xiaodong saw that I was a little depressed, and comforted me:

"I don't object to you singing a song to her, to make her happy, maybe the effect is good, but if you want to sing, you have to finish talking about the business before singing, and you have to see her reaction, she is in a good mood, you sing again, you are in a bad mood, you are trying to find a way, do you say yes. Wu Xiaodong took a sip of tea, saw me nod, and continued:

"I'll look for Xiaoxu in a while, I'll go with you, you are smart, you follow me what I say, Liangzi over there has also given you a little bit, Deng Jie has also done Xiaoxu's work, press this down as soon as possible, don't let Director Wang know." ”

"Okay, Brother Xiaodong, I understand, I listen to you. ”

Wu Xiaodong patted me on the shoulder and asked:

"When are you and Hong Hai going?"

"He said he'd come to dinner with me later, and we'd be over at one o'clock. ”

"Okay, I'll go to you after dinner, and we'll meet at the door of the women's bedroom. ”

"You can just eat with us later. ”

Wu Xiaodong scratched his head and said with a complicated expression:

"I made an appointment with a friend for dinner at noon, and I'll go with you later. ”

I saw him like this, I guessed seven or eight points in my heart, and I smiled at him and nodded, the time was still early, the two of us had nothing to do in the house, so I simply played a few games of chess, I loved chess since I was a child, and even won provincial awards in junior high school, I was very proud of my chess strength, and I thought that I must be crushed by ordinary people like Brother Xiaodong, I didn't expect him to be able to kill me back and forth, I finally won a narrow victory, such a difficult victory surprised me, I didn't expect to be surprised not only me, Wu Xiaodong also widened his eyes, and we almost said to each other together:

"Why are you so good?"

"You've never won against me before, how did you grow so much today!"

"Fluke, fluke..."

"Come on, come on, and then next game!"

Wu Xiaodong's desire to win is very strong, repeatedly defeated and fought, I am also a character who does not admit defeat, never thought of him, we played seven games in a row, the result is that I won seven games in a row, just as we were about to play the eighth game of the game, Chen Honghai pushed the door into the house, saw me and Wu Xiaodong playing chess, patted me on the shoulder and said:

"Why are you still playing chess with him, aren't you losing enough?"

I smiled, Wu Xiaodong ignored Chen Honghai, and continued to play chess by himself, Chen Honghai saw that we still had to play, and hurriedly stopped:

"Don't go down, let's have a meal first, and we'll have to go to Xiaoxu later." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, another plate, just a plate. ”

"Xiaodong, do the right thing first, when can't you play chess. ”

Wu Xiaodong listened, glared at Chen Honghai angrily, Chen Honghai saw Wu Xiaodong like this, he was frightened and took a step back, I saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly persuaded:

"Brother Xiaodong, didn't you tell me that you still want to go to dinner with your friends? I don't know what time you made an appointment, did you forget. ”

When Wu Xiaodong heard this, he suddenly became nervous, he looked down at his watch, and then immediately put on his coat, and just about to go out, he turned back and said: "Wait a while, we'll finish the business, let's play a few more plates!" After he finished speaking, he closed the door and left, Chen Honghai saw him leaving, and slowly sat down and said:

"What's wrong with Xiaodong? ”

"Because I won seven games in a row. ”

"Really? How could it be. ”

I smiled, got up and dragged Chen Honghai up, pushed him out of the door, and said:

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk about the rest later. ”

Out of the door, Chen Honghai took me to a place similar to a canteen, each window is pasted with eye-catching red letters, he led me to sit in a very remote stall, I glanced at it, it was written the word halal, Chen Honghai seemed to be very familiar with this stall, did not say a word, turned around only a gesture, not long after, two large bowls of oily mutton fried knife cut on the top, covered with a large piece of golden fried egg, looks particularly appetizing, in the morning and Zhang Jinglin actually did not eat much, in the second department store and Guangming Bookstore for so long, I was also hungry, picked up the chopsticks and eaten, the noodles are very glutenous, the taste is also very goodI was pleasantly surprised that the more I ate below, the more mutton there was underneath, not at all as simple as it looked, I thought to myself, this shopkeeper really doesn't know how to do business, if you put all these mutton on the upper floor, it should look more appetizing, but then I think about it, maybe people in that era didn't have so many hearts.

Within a few minutes, a large bowl of noodles was at the bottom, Chen Honghai was not in a hurry, he looked around, his vision was blurred, as if he was waiting for someone, he looked at it for a while, and then turned his eyes to me, seeing that my bowl was empty, and exclaimed:

"Why did you eat so quickly, another bowl?"

I took out a tissue, wiped my mouth, and said:

"No need Brother Hong Hai, you're full, by the way, who are you looking for? I see that you have been looking east and west. ”

Chen Honghai was taking a mouthful of noodles, and said vaguely:

"Gao Hongzhuo (bright), Su (said) he is going to elbow (find) dip (us). ”

"Brother Gao is coming? Just now Brother Xiaodong also said that he wanted to go with us, will there be too many people? ”

Chen Honghai swallowed hard and said:

"Is Xiaodong going too? There are indeed a lot of people, but there are also benefits to having more people, it seems that we pay attention to it, and everyone can talk for you, Xiaodong is the executive director, and his words also have weight, so he has an extra insurance, which is safe. ”

I nodded, Brother Hong Hai looks honest and honest on weekdays, but when he does things, he thinks about everything in his head, and he is really unseemly. About twenty minutes later, a vigorous figure stepped in, Chen Honghai saw it, turned around and gave the boss a gesture, I moved my body to the left, leaving a place for Gao Hongliang, he was not polite, sat directly next to me, and asked:

"When are you going?"

"One o'clock. As he spoke, he turned around and looked at his watch, and I followed his gaze, twelve fifteen, and it was still early. He continued:

"When you're done, let's go back and get something together, and then go to the door of the girls' dormitory to find Xiaodong, and the four of us will go together." ”

"Is Xiaodong going too?"

"Yes, Jiaqi told me just now. ”

Gao Hong nodded brightly, turned his head and asked me:

"Hey, by the way, what did you buy for Xiaoxu?"

Without waiting for me to speak, Chen Honghai hurriedly said:

"I bought a set of books, and I look at them high-end, I feel that Xiaoxu can like it. ”

"I thought you'd buy some clothes and food, you kid has a lot of heart. ”

I smiled at Gao Hongliang, and after a while, Gao Hongliang's noodles also came up, this bowl of noodles was obviously a lot more than the two of us ate, just as I was thinking about how his thin body dealt with this big bowl of noodles, Gao Hongliang's speed gave me the answer, he not only ate a lot, but also fast, and at the same time ate very clean, there was no oil and food residues on the table, I reached out and handed Gao Hongliang a tissue, he wiped his mouth, and threw it on the table, the three of us stood up together, and when I went back to the bedroom to get something, I saw Wu Xiaodong was also there, he said that he came back early just now, and wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest for a while and then go over there to meet usI looked up at my watch, the time had reached 12:45, I was carrying the guitar on my back, Gao Hongliang was holding the book, Wu Xiaodong didn't know where to bring back a bag of oranges and apples, and I took them together, we walked for ten minutes, and finally arrived at the girls' dormitory, after talking to the dormitory manager, we began to walk straight along the corridor, and walked for a long time before we stood down in the room with house number 117, standing in front of this door, my heart was inexplicably nervous, as if something was hitting my chest, and it seemed that a fire was burning, My face turned red inexplicably, with a flush on my ears and neck, Wu Xiaodong was just about to knock on the door, and when I saw that I suddenly became a "cooked shrimp", he hurriedly said:

"Hey, don't be nervous! ”

Gao Hongliang and Chen Honghai heard it, and they turned their heads together, and they were shocked when they saw me:

"You kid won't be able to, right, where is this? Honghai, you help him. ”

Chen Honghai didn't carry anything in his hand, touched my ears and face with his hands, rubbed my shoulders again, and said softly:

"It's okay, it's okay, relax and relax, Xiaoxu won't do anything to you, and with the three of us supporting you, what are you afraid of." ”

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..." I said this in my mouth, I really didn't know the bottom in my heart, don't say it, through Chen Honghai gave me this operation, I don't know if it was his words or the effect of the massage, I was indeed not so nervous, and my body gradually returned to normal, Wu Xiaodong saw that I was back to normal, and when I raised my hand to knock on the door for the second time, the door opened by itself.
